The Greek manufacturing sector saw a modest slowdown in January 2025, as the S&P Global Greece Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) recorded a slight drop to 52.8, down from 53.2 in December 2024. The updated data, released on February 3, 2025, marks a tempered beginning to the new year for Greece's manufacturing industry.
Despite this minor decrease, the PMI remains above the neutral 50.0 threshold, indicating continued expansion—but at a slower pace than in the previous month. Industry analysts suggest that the lower PMI reflects cautious business sentiments amidst ongoing global economic pressures that are influencing the manufacturing landscape.
This dip in growth momentum may prompt Greek manufacturers to closely evaluate their strategies and adapt their operations to sustain progress and growth in the coming months. The ongoing focus will likely be on managing supply chain challenges and assessing market demands to maintain productivity and competitiveness in a rapidly changing economic environment.
